Pineapple Coconut Smoothie

It is not summer yet, but the first long days have arrived, and the Sun is shining, the time for the first Piña colada of the year has come. Our simple Pineapple Coconut Smoothie requires just 3 ingredients: frozen ripe pineapple, coconut milk, and your preferred sweetener.

This is how it works. We will also show you how to make it a full-fledged boozy cocktail.

What are the ingredients of a Traditional Piña Colada?

It’s typically made from heavy coconut cream, pineapple juice, Puerto Rican white rum, and ice.

For this Pineapple Coconut Smoothie, also known as Virgin Piña Colada or Virgin Colada, we are using pineapple chunks to keep all its fiber and thick coconut milk, plus some agave syrup as sweetener, plus ice to make sure it comes out super frozen.

Variations

We just need to blend all the ingredients on a high-speed blender. We love this Professional Blender which has a very accessible price and is super effective in crushing everything and has a large volume capacity. We also use it to make our Almond Milk.

Boozy Piña Colada: you just need to add the rum 1 oz for a soft one and 2 oz for a strong one.

Protein Post Workout Drink: if you want to make it an even more healthy pineapple smoothie, just switch for light coconut milk and add a scoop of a plant-based protein powder. You can use either plain flavored or vanilla flavored, or even hemp seeds.

Benefits of Eating Pineapple

This delicious one-of-a-kind fruit is a delicious and healthy addition to any diet. Well, I doubt you are not really into Pineapple, but I am sure you will want to have more after learning about its benefits.

This tropical marvel of fresh Pineapple is that it contains immune-boosting vitamin C. It is also an excellent hydration powerhouse and provides natural sugars, thus providing a great energy source.

Pineapple is an excellent source of magnesium and potassium, both nutrients beneficial to sexual health. It helps to sustain stamina and aids weight loss.

Benefits of Pineapple for Women

Pineapple for women is particularly advantageous because it is high in Vitamin C. This magnificent antioxidant plays a significant role in supporting healthy bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Additionally, Pineapple provides copper and several Complex B vitamins that are important to consume during pregnancy.

If you don’t have fresh Pineapple where you live, try adding frozen Pineapple to this delicious smoothie.

Benefits of Pineapple for Men

Pineapple is known as the “libido lifter” and has even been used to help with impotence. Pineapples contain manganese, which supplements are often prescribed for improving sexual strength, especially among men as it elevates testosterone’s level.

As the high levels of Vitamin C and thiamine, this tropical fruit contents promote hormones responsible for happiness and act as an energy booster. These two factors come to hand to hand when things get hot around. 😉 – both of which come in handy in the bedroom.

Pineapple is great for men’s sexual health but historically has also been noted as an aphrodisiac for both women and men. Read all about it.

Benefits of Coconut

Coconut is a great energy source, noted for boosting endurance. It’s great for aiding digestion, and like carrots, it is loaded with carotene. It is also a great source of Vitamin E, Selenium, and fiber. For these reasons, it is excellent for combating high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart problems.

Coconut is also especially good for men’s health.

As pineapples, coconut is a good source of manganese, which, as explained before, plays an essential role in men’s sexual health. A lack of manganese in a man’s diet will diminish his reproductive system.

So, Yes to Pina Coladas! We think they will make everyone happy!
